==Episode 3: Missing Each Other== The Rookie returns to the White Whale Inn, where Kean informs that the report about the blue crystal has been sent to the royal capital. Fearing that the pair causes more trouble than good for Milo, [[Allysse]] asks Kean and Seanna to find another place to stay, making various excuses (like Enzo running into some kind of emergency and the Inn requires to have as less people as possible.). The pair is moved to the town chief [[Errol's House]]. There, [[Old Meb]] is shown to be unwell, and tells [[Seanna]] that she is destined to change someone's fate, much to Seanna's confusion. Kean has received an official order, tasking the royal guard with investigating the nearby mine in the [[Misty Summit]]. Apparently, the kingdom is preparing for an all-out war with the Fomors, and the mine has missed the delivery. With the Rookie acting as an escort, Kean ventures into the Misty Summit mines, where they are forced to fight against the onslaught of winged gremlins and resuscitated wood men. In the scuffle, Kean fell down from the cliff and injured his leg. The party decides to retreat, but not before finding the manual on making the Wooden Assistant with alternative power sources. Back at the Errol's House, Kean can't help but point out the suspicious issues with the Misty Summit mine: not only the mine was infested with Fomors and the hostile [[Wood Men]], the mine itself had no valuable [[Iron Ore]], that the army should normally be provided with, but had strange crystals instead. Inspecting the journal, Kean flashes back to the memories of his childhood, where he discusses the idea of making a Wooden Assistant with another young boy. Kean's wound worsens and as Seanna thinks of what to do, [[Old Meb]] appears and hands the Rookie the crystal from the Misty Summit mine, telling him to visit Enzo, so he could make a medicine out of it. The mercenary visits Enzo, as he and Allysse attempt to draw the power of the goddess. The medicine is prepared and as soon as [[Old Meb]] applies the ointment, the wound on Kean's leg quickly heals. Meb reveals that the crystal is in fact an erg, and what Kean and the Rookie went to was in fact the Erg Mine. Kean once again remembers the past, when his brother, [[Cethe]], has been conducting research on erg crystals. Kean and his brother had a falling out after he learned that Cethe has been working with the [[Pontiff's Court]] instead of the kingdom. Back in the present, Kean remembers that the erg crystals are formed when the magic particles react with the moonlight, and asks the mercenary to investigate the Erg Mine for any abnormalities during the nighttime. At the same time, in the Pontiff's Court headquarters, Kean's message to the royal castle regarding the blue crystal has been intercepted and relayed to the current Pontiff, [[Laurys]]. He writes a letter to the [[Rocheste]]'s bishop, [[Gilliam]], then orders to prepare an escort to [[Rocheste]]. Back in the Misty Summit during the nighttime, the Rookie locates and obtains the crystallized erg. Kean confirms his theory about the moon changing the erg crystals within wood men and is inclined to travel to [[Rocheste]] to find out about the purpose behind the crystals, as well as why Fomors are in the mine. In the meantime, beneath [[Rocheste]], bishop [[Gilliam]] receives the letter, where he is tasked by [[Laurys]] to collect [[Seanna]], who will arrive to Rocheste in 2 days. The bishop orders the unknown figure to interrogate the oracle as soon as she is arranged to "vanish". The figure complies. In the Errol's House in Malina, Seanna informs Kean and the Rookie, that she has received two letters from the royal castle. One is the invitation to the gathering of the oracles in the [[Rocheste]]. The additional letter, however, asked Seanna specifically to bring along the blue crystal, which puzzles Kean. Believing this to be a lucky coincidence, Kean offers to join Seanna along with the Rookie on the travel to Rocheste. As the trio prepares to leave, Old Meb briefly stops Seanna, ominously reminding her that she is bound to change someone's fate, even if she wouldn't be aware of this. With a promise of the swift return, Seanna, Kean and the mercenary board the ferry to Rocheste. ________________________ The party arrives at the entrance to the city of Rocheste, where the guard asks the oracle for her name, which Seanna tells. He then instructs her to go to the location, differing from the gathering place, which makes Kean suspicious. Seanna tells Kean not to worry, but just in case, Kean instructs her of precautions and warns her not to show the blue crystal to anyone. As the guard and Seanna disappear, Kean has a weird feeling, like their parting will likely be their last. Kean wants to compare the erg obtained from the Misty Summit with the ones used by the Fomors in order to prove that the Fomors' erg indeed come from that mine. But their progress came to a halt, as the Fobellow Prairie are deemed off-limits by the Royal Army and the deputy commander [[Riordan]] demands the orders from the kingdom Kean is from. The Rookie offers Kean to steal the erg from the Royal Army storage room, as the mercenary, being a member of the Royal Army once, perfectly knew the layout of the Royal Army quarters. They infiltrate the storage room, where Kean finds the erg they seek. At the Magician's Guild, magician [[Jarlath]] inspects the two ergs and confirms that both of them are originated from the same place. To find more information, the magician sends the group to the magician in Colhen, [[Brynn]], as he has been researching erg crystals. At the Colhen's [[Magic Laboratory]], [[Brynn]] reacts aggressively to the arrival of the royal guard, but calms down when he learns of his unaffiliation with the Pontiff's Court. The magician expresses surprise when the Rookie shows him the erg and tells about the Erg Mine, and points out that the ergs contain obscene amounts of divine energy, theorizing that the blue crystal they've found would be the very essence of a god. The magician advises the party to consult with the researcher of the Pontiff's Court who has the main authority over erg crystals, who happens to be none other than [[Cethe]], Kean's brother. Kean expresses his concerns over the blue crystal being sent to the Pontiff's Court, and the reason why they asked [[Seanna]] specifically to bring the crystal. With a bad feeling over the head, the party goes to Rocheste, where the cause of Kean's fear has been confirmed: Seanna is nowhere to be found, even in the Cathedral. In the alley, Kean blames himself for his own carelessness to see that the royal castle and the Pontiff's Court seem to be working together. The Rookie remembers where Seanna was found in the future, and tells Kean about her current whereabouts. He doesn't believe what the mercenary says, until he is called over by a [[Beggar]], who tells him about the lizardmen creatures carrying an unconscious woman to the [[Sewer]]. Surprised at how the mercenary's words turned out to be true without any explanation, the two venture into the sewers, where they find Seanna unconscious, along with two lizardmen. After defeating one of them, the lizard in white cowl, [[Verafim]], flees to the darkness of the sewers. Seanna regains consciousness, but can remember neither Kean, the mercenary, nor about the blue crystal she carried. Together, they go back to the surface. At the same time, the shadowy figure of Verafim opens its mouth and swallows the blue crystal that Seanna had, announcing that "the seal" is complete. Back in Rocheste, Seanna is left at the Royal Army Base, while the Rookie and Kean hide. [[Laurys|The Pontiff]] hurries to the Royal Army Base and suddenly kneels in front of [[Seanna]], announcing her to be the "prophesied oracle". As Seanna and Pontiff leave, the confused Kean and the mercenary go back to Malina. Meanwhile, underneath Rocheste, Verafim and Gilliam converse. Verafim reveals that he erased Seanna's memory and lies to the bishop, that the crystal wasn't found on the oracle. _________________________ In the [[Errol's House]] in Malina, Kean expresses his wish to stay in Malina, the town where no one shouts the name of the [[Morrighan|goddess]] and where he and Seanna could've lived peacefully. He deduces that the lizardmen were the ones that stole the blue crystal, but wonders of the reason, remembering that their race has been abandoned by the Fomors and has no god to serve. Believing that [[Lazkum]] may provide some clues, Kean and the mercenary visit the [[Magic Shack]], where they find [[Videk]] instead. He tells that both Lazkum and [[Enzo]] went to the Erg Mine in the [[Misty Summit]]. The duo travels there and find Enzo and Lazkum gathering from the crystal veins. Kean presses Enzo for answers to his question, but the magician isn't rushing to answer them, and instead proposes everyone to return to Malina. Back in the Magic Shack, Enzo reveals many truths. The blue crystal they had was an erg, containing divine essence in its pure form, and is likely originated from the mine in the [[Misty Summit]]. He also tells that the divine power in those crystals doesn't come from the goddess Morrighan, but from other gods. The reason Seanna was able to perceive the power of the pagan gods is explained by her possessing the qualifications of a witch. Enzo himself is revealed to be the last druid alive, worshipping the [[Cromm Cruaich|god of the crescent moon, hills and death.]] When asked the reason why Seanna is involved, the druid references the events of the "Witch Hunt" that occurred 10 years ago. That time, the inquisitors spilled blood in the royal city of Taratha because one member of the royal family was thought to be a witch. This event led to deaths of many people of the royal family and the king's abdication of the throne. Kean asks Lazkum about the lizardmen in the [[Sewer]], to which the lizardman ponders if his people are still seeking a god. Everyone don't notice [[Idal]], who has been eavesdropping on their conversation. Kean and the Rookie go back to the mines of the [[Misty Summit]] to find his brother, Cethe, who is believed to be somewhere in the mines. In there, they find a winged gremlin, [[Quick-hand Seira]], that attempts to communicate, but the group is unable to understand the Fomor language. Kean, however, hears the gremlin call out Cethe and wonders if that gremlin knows something about his brother. Back in Errol's House, Kean wonders where they could find someone who can speak Fomorian. To everyone's surprise, Milo, alive and warm, joins the conversation. The boy offers his help as the interpreteur, as he learned to speak Fomorian when he was a child (although he doesn't remember exactly when). Together, they head back to the mines. _________________________ In the mines of the Misty Summit, Milo, Kean and the Rookie arrive at the mining site, where they encounter the [[Quick-hand Seira]]. With Milo as the interpreteur, they learn that the mine of the [[Misty Summit]] is actually the remains of the dead god, and Cethe has formed a pact with the Fomors to resurrect the dead god, after seemingly witnessing the dead human come back to life. However, when Cethe dug out the god's heart, the laboratory he resided in has been sealed off, with no sure means of entering. Seira asks the group to find the key in the mining machine at the summit, then leaves as his compatriots are coming. Back in the [[Errol's House]] in Malina, Milo relays his conversation with the gremlin to Kean, who realizes that Cethe triple-crossed everyone for the sake of resurrecting the pagan god and begins to weep. He then asks the mercenary to retrieve the laboratory key from the excavation machine at the summit. The group doesn't notice [[Idal]], who has been eavesdropping on their conversation. The Rookie heads up to the very summit of the mines, where he encounters a sentient excavation machine, [[Bark No. 1]], which proceeds to attack. The mercenary had to dismantle the machine apart in order to reach its compartment and obtain the item, that looks like a wooden doll. Inspecting the doll, Kean recognizes it to be his own doll, that Cethe bought for him when he has been recognized as the official magician. Kean cherished this doll and had it on his person wherever he went, despite his own complaints about the doll being something one would buy for a girl. Inside its secret compartment, Kean finds a note written in an invisible ink, telling that Kean himself is the key to unlocking the laboratory. Anxious to meet his brother after a long time, Kean joins the mercenary along with Milo, who happens to tag along. The group enters the depths of the laboratory, where they're attacked by the biomechanical creature, [[Juggernaut]]. Despite the creature's agile movements and using the energy generated from the mix of electricity and divine power of the erg crystal to replenish itself, the party manages to cut it off from the power supply and deal critical damage to the its core, permanently stopping the creature from moving again. Kean expresses disbelief that the defeated creature could be Cethe and after some searching, finds a small orb, that is revealed to be the sound recording device. As the group prepares to leave, the mercenary notices and takes the tattered journal, hidden in the crack of the machines beneath. _________________________ Upon returning from the [[Misty Summit]], Kean plays the sound recording device, in which Cethe conveyed the message to his brother, at the same time confirming his own death. 10 years ago, the king of the royal city of Taratha died on the same day as Kean's and Cethe's father. On the day of their deaths, the Pontiff concealed the news of the king's death and announced his retreat abdication instead, gaining authority and using it for his own personal gain. Cethe witnessed the fall of the royal family members and managed to ensure his safety by joining the Court's magicians, waiting for an opportunity to strike back. The opportunity arrived when he has been tasked with investigating the [[Misty Summit]]. Firmly believing that the ergs are actually remnants of the divine beings, he arrived at the conclusion that the Misty Summit is actually the grave of a dead god. Cethe's endgame was to resurrect the dead god and putting the Pontiff's Court credibility about [[Morrighan]] being the sole god to be false, ruining the organization from the inside. However, the magician supposedly failed to achieve the expected result. In his final message, Cethe told Kean that not all members of the royal family actually died: the young prince and the princess, who was believed to be a witch, escaped, successfully blending in with the hunting party, escaping the Pontiff's eye. In addition, Cethe clearly saw that the princess brought the prince back from the dead. Before the recording ended, Cethe asks Kean to find the escaped prince and princess and protect them. Milo ponders if the prince is of the same age as him, while Kean walks out of the [[Errol's House]] to grieve. Walking through the [[Constable's Office]], Kean notices [[Idal]] standing with the birdcage, seemingly lost in thought. Noticing [[Solair]] coming, Kean hides. She asks about the contents of the letter Idal was going to send and he tells her a lie, saying it's report to the client. The girl offers the delivery through her owl, but Idal refuses. Solair responds by stabbing Idal in the back with the dagger, then takes the letter and reads it. Learning the contents of the letter, the girl prepares to send the letter to the Pontiff's Court headquarters, leaving Idal to die from blood loss. Finnec enters and notices the dead Idal, but is threatened to silence by Solair before he could do anything. Kean rushes to the [[White Whale Inn]] and tells Allysse, Milo and the mercenary, that they should leave [[Malina]], as the town is no longer safe.
